2.4 FITTING PFT & PFI REINFORCING

Doors wider than 3545mm require panel reinforcing, the
number and positioning of the reinforcing is shown on page 7.

Some PFT & PFI doors and all B&D Storm-Shield

™

PFI doors
are supplied with double end stiles and extended wheels,
Figure 2.4.1.

FIGURE 2.4.1
DOUBLE ENDSTILE
DOOR

REINFORCEMENT PLACEMENT

The reinforcement is generally fixed across the centre of
the panel. However there are three situations that require
alternative placement. The top panel with automatic opener,
the top panel with windows, the locking panel when a lock is to
be installed.

If a lock is to be fitted it generally straddles the centre of the
panel so the reinforcement has to be offset to allow clearance
for the installation and operation of the lock.

Fit the top panel reinforcing as high as possible when windows
and automatic openers are fitted (refer detail below).

It is important to secure reinforcing with 2 screws per stile.

Fit the PFI seal to the top of the top panel as shown in Figure 2.6.4 and Figure

2.6.6 or alternatively fit the seal to the lintel. The fixing points should be spaced
at 300-400mm centres.

First insert the wheels into the top hangers as shown in Figure 2.6.1. Then
assemble top hangers to top corners of the panel as shown in Figure 2.6.2 using
the vertical slots only. The additional two fixings will be fitted to the left and right
side after the panel is lowered into the tracks and adjusted to vertical. The top
panel reinforcing should be fitted as high as possible, refer Figure 2.6.5.

Assembly of the top panel is the same as panelift PFT and PFI.
The reinforcing must be fitted after the panel is in the tracks
in a vertical position with the wheels and hangars fitted and
adjusted.

Special care must be taken when fitting the lower reinforcing
as the hook plates must align correctly with the tracklock of the
short top track bracket Figure 2.7.1 and 2.7.3.

Fit the top reinforcing without hook plates over the top hangar
as shown at section H and previously at Figure 2.4.3.

The second lower reinforcing with hook plates is fixed to align
with the top section of the Tracklock. Refer to section B. This
measurement is taken from the bottom of the folded safety
edge note there is a different measurement for FTL (front
torsion large curve) and FTS (front torsion small curve).

NOTE: If jamb seals are being fitted they should be cut 100mm taller than the door height and fitted prior to fitting the vertical tracks.
Refer to Figure 2.8.2 for correct position. The fixing points should be spaced at 300-400mm centres.

Set the vertical tracks parallel on both sides of the door. Use the level/datum marks to ensure the tracks are level with each other or
the door will not function correctly. Ensure the detail at Figure 2.8.2 is followed. The set out measurements for B&D Storm-Shield

™

PFI are the same as PFT but take note of the positioning for the jamb spacer as they must be fitted under the jamb bracket with the
rolled edge facing you, as indicated at Figure 2.8.2. Once satisfied temporarily fix in position with at least two fixings to the top bracket
and one to the bottom track bracket, these will hold the tracks in position and allow for minor adjustment. All fixings with washers will
be fitted after the door is fully adjusted and operating satisfactorily. (For B&D Storm-Shield

™

PFI doors refer to the DTCM compliance

instructions). Ensure the B&D Storm-Shield

™

pinch point warning stickers are fitted correctly as previously indicated.

Revision 9 - March 2016

This procedure is the same for PFT, PFI & B&D Storm-Shield™
PFI doors.

Carefully lower the wheels of the bottom panel into the tracks. The
bottom door panel is to sit level in the door opening. The wheels
are to sit in the “V” groove of the vertical tracks and there should
be clearance between panel and tracks, see Figure 1.6.1.

Now you are ready to install the rest of the panels.

There is a link for every point where there is a stile, which should
all be folded down at this stage.

Insert panel into the guide engaging the wheels into the vertical
tracks, Figure 2.9.3, and nesting the panel onto bottom panels,
Figure 2.9.4. Starting at the centre, lift the panel enough to insert
the link, repeat this one at a time for the remaining links.

Repeat this procedure for all other panels with the exception of
the top panel which has externally mounted adjustable metal
hangers (Figure 2.6.3) these allow for forward and backward
adjustment of the top panel. When finally adjusted the additional
two locking fixings must be added, Figure 2.6.2.

NOTE: Ensure all white pins are inserted in PFT & PFI panel or
special screws if the panels are insulated, Figure 2.9.1.

Before bracing the horizontal tracks, ensure that they are square
to the opening and level. To check whether your diagonals are
equal, measure from the top of the vertical track to the end of
the horizontal track on both sides. Check both sides. Adjust if
necessary and fix diagonal brace. Figure 2.10.1.

Use steel angle, Figure 2.10.2, to fix the horizontal tracks to
the building. Find a structurally sound location to fix your angle
to the ceiling or side wall. The track support must be located
approximately 3/4 height of the door, Figure 2.10.3. Failure to
do this will result in the tracks twisting out. For doors higher
than 2280mm and/or wider than 5000mm two supports will be
required, Figure 2.10.4.

Each installation must be assessed individually for ceiling fixing
requirements.

NOTE: For all insulated panels two (2) ceiling braces must be
fitted per horizontal track for all doors over 2400mm x 3000mm.

Place the torsion bar on the floor and position the lifting parts
in order. Place the spring anchor bracket onto the torsion bar,
positioning it approximately half way along.The cut off comer
should face the floor if mounted on the lintel, or if mounted on
the ceiling should face rearward, away from the lintel to allow
the panels to clear as the door operates, see Figure 37.

With single spring doors, slide a shaft collar against the spring
anchor bracket. The bearing flange in the spring anchor bracket
must face the spring. It may need to be reversed depending on
whether a left or right hand spring is supplied, see Figure 38.

The shaft collar is tightened against the bearing flange. Slide the
spring onto the torsion bar and over the shaft collar. A left hand
spring has a red winding plug, and should be fitted to the left
hand side of the spring anchor bracket. A right hand spring has
a black winding plug. The winding plugs should face away from
the spring anchor bracket, see Figure 39.

NOTE: It is important to use 2 of the 4 1¼ inch square necked
bolts to secure each side bearing plates in position.

The set screws on the cable drums should face inwards see Figure 40. Place the two 3 mm cable drum spaces on each side. Then
the side bearing brackets are positioned outside the cable drum spacers with the flange facing outwards.

NOTE: It is important to use 2 of the 4 1¼ inch square necked bolts to secure each side bearing plates in position.

2.12 FITTING B&D STORM-SHIELD™ PFI TRACKLOCKS

Whilst fitting tracklocks is shown here it is preferable to leave
until the door is fully functioning and you are satisfied with the
operation.

FOR SMALL CURVE

• The top of the Tracklock must be cut back 60mm as
indicated at Figure 2.12.3.Only after removing this material
can the tracklock be cut to length from the bottom as a pair.

• After cutting, align the Tracklock with the Jamb Bracket.
The top of the cut Tracklock should be a snug fit with the
bottom of the top track bracket. Figure 2.12.3.

FOR LARGE CURVE

• if to long only cut as a pair from the bottom. Align the
Tracklock holes with the Jamb Bracket as shown on page

12. The top of the uncut Tracklock should be a snug fit
with the bottom of the top track bracket. Figure 2.12.3.

Attach via the key hole slots and ensure the clearance is correct
refer Figure 2.12.2.

When satisfied with clearances and operation a minimum of 5
pairs of 1/4 bolts and wiz nuts must be fitted to every metre of
track height.

When finally satisfied fit all substrate fixings and washers as
requested by the DTCM compliance details.

Revision 9 - March 2016

For very large doors whose springs simply become too large
and heavy to handle in a complete single axle assembly, two
solid torsion axles are supplied with a coupling to allow easier
installation.

Assemble both axle assemblies on the floor, only one Spring
Anchor Bracket is used, the other Spring Anchor Bracket is
fixed in position at the wall. Figure 48 shows the right half
of the axle assembly as it should look on the floor. The shaft
collar should be butted up against the Spring Anchor Bracket
opposite of the spring and then firmly fixed into place.

Lift and thread the Axle on the Cable Drum side through the
mounted Spring Anchor Bracket and fix the loose Spring
Anchor Bracket securely to the lintel, you may need to rest the
assembly end on the ladder or scissors lift.

Assemble the Torsion Shaft Couple engaging both left and
right hand axle assemblies as shown in Figure 49, it will
not be necessary to tighten the bolts as yet, allowing some

adjustment. The axles should be flush with each couple
allowing free rotation to occur.

Secure the springs assemblies to the Spring Anchor Brackets
as shown in Figure 50. The complete assembly should look like
Figure 51 by this stage. Cut the key to the required lengths and
then insert into the slots as shown in Figure 52 for the couple.

Attach lifting cable to cable drum in the same fashion
described on page 23 and adjust as described, however a key
needs to be inserted into place as shown in Figure 53 when
tightening the grub screws, the couple should allow some
adjustment before tightening the bolts connecting the two
axles fully.

The springs are tensioned in the same fashion as described on
page 28, however with the additional step of insertion of keys
into the slots which should be lined up between the winding
drum and axle then fixed firmly in place with grub screws,
Figure 54.

BOTTOM HANGERS: Find the Low Lift Bottom Hangers, the cables,
Clevis Pins, Humpback Spring Pins, and washers. Assemble Low Lift
Bottom Hangers as shown in Figure 55 A. Then assemble onto the
bottom panel as shown in Figure 55 B.

CURVE ASSEMBLY: Insert plastic curve onto the inside of the top
brackets and secure onto bracket using 2 nuts and bolts per curve
insuring that the “V” of the vertical track lines up with the curve.
From the Rear Torsion Parts Bag assemble each pulley wheel with the
spacers sandwiched between opposite handed corner brackets and
held with a nut, bolt and washer as shown in Figure 60. The two corner
brackets should overlap and be secured into place. Secure against the
wall in 3 points and connect to vertical tracks at two points as shown.

AXLE ASSEMBLY: The axle assembly for rear torsion is different in
that the Side Bearing Brackets are replaced with Sheave Bracket Rear
Torsion off which the springs are mounted and which are connected
to the free ends of the horizontal tracks rather than directly over the
opening.

Figure 57 illustrates the assembly of single spring rear torsion
installation. A shaft Collar is still required and fixed on the spring side
of the Flat Spring Anchor Brackets as shown in Figure 56.

Figure 58 demonstrates a double spring rear torsion installation, which
like a single spring rear torsion door has the springs mounted off the
sides on the Flat Spring Anchor Brackets rather than the centre.

For both variations the cable drums are mounted on the outside of the track and brackets with the grub screws pointing away from
the centre as shown in Figure 59 Additionally the red and black springs are put on opposite sides of the axle than for a standard
installation.

Revision 9 - March 2016

TORSION BAR INSTALLATION: Ensure that the ceiling fixing points are suitable to accept the weight of the torsion and spring
assembly.

Fix the flat spring anchor brackets to the free ends of the horizontal tracks, Figure 61. Rest the assemble torsion bar on top of the
tracks, then slide one axle end into one bearing and then through the other bearing. Secure the centre bearing plate into a solid
foundation either directly or by the use of suitable steel angle.

Now secure the springs to the spring anchor bracket using 3/8” x 1½” hexagonal head bolts and 3/8” washers and nuts.

Unwind the lifting cable on both sides and thread the cable behind the wheel axles around the ring on the bottom hanger, through
between the pairs of corner brackets around the pulley wheel and over to the rear drums, Figure 61.

Attach the lifting cable to the cable drum by slipping the cable into the slot on the outside groove. (The ferrule will prevent the cable
from coming out). Wind the cable by hand turning away from the door in an up and over direction. Once the cable is taut, slide the
cable drum against the end bearing bracket and tighten the 9.5 mm set-screws securely to the torsion bar. Be careful not to over­tighten the set-screws.

Refer to page 28 when adding spring tension.

Secure the torsion bar to prevent any rotation, as shown in
Figure 2.15.1.

WARNING: TORSION SPRINGS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY! IF YOU ARE NOT SURE, STOP NOW! ASK
TRAINED PERSONNEL.

The number of turns required for each spring is shown on a
paper tag attached to the springs Figure 2.15.2. If the spring
is required to have 7.5 turns for example, these are full turns
and are equivalent to 30 quarter turns. Alternatively, a line is
painted along every spring. If the spring is turned for example
8 times, then 8 lines can be counted along the spring, See
Figure 2.15.3.

WARNING: ONLY USE AUTHORISED WINDING BARS AS
LISTED ON PAGE 5.

Turn the spring by inserting winding bars into the winding plug
holes and wind up in an up and over direction towards the
ceiling, Figure 2.15.4. Once you have completed the amount of
turns required, remove one winding bar then tap the remaining
bar back towards the spring anchor bracket if spring snaking
occurs. Now you can tighten the two set screws with an open

ended spanner, Figure 2.15.5. Again be careful not to over­tighten the set screws.

Repeat this procedure if there is more than one spring but
remember, always wind the springs, whether left or right hand,
in an up and over direction towards the opening.

WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE SPRING AND THE
SPRING WINDING PLUG AT ALL TIMES.

Double check that the set screws are properly tightened, before
removing the restraints on the torsion bar.

Test the balance of the door. Put the door into the open
position and view along the horizontal tracks. Check that
the clearance in the vertical tracks (5-10mm) is also in the
horizontal tracks. If you find that the door is binding, open out
the horizontal tracks slightly to create the correct tolerance.
Once satisfied that the operation of the door is as near perfect

as possible, check that all nuts and bolts are tight and oil
the springs full length to prevent noise and reduce friction,
‘TAL 5’ or similar oil rich lubricant in a pressure spray can is
acceptable, Figure 2.15.6.

NOTE: In coffin garages (those with no access other
than the garage door), the lock handle should be
installed immediately after fitting the lock panel.

The lock handle is to be fixed to the middle of the
second panel. Using lock plate as a guide, centre on
central end stile and drill through the end stile and the
panel using a 1/2” (13 mm) drill bit for the large hole
and a 3/16”(5 mm) bit for the two holes on either side.

Fit the “T” handle to the panel by inserting the lock
shaft and the two 3/16” thread bolts into the panel
from the outside, through the lock muntin. Attach
the 3/16” or 4.7 mm nuts and washers securing the
‘T’ Handle in place. Next insert the lock guide plate
(dimples facing away from door) followed by the
internal handle, the lock cam and the second guide
plate (dimples facing the door). Lock together with
3/16” nuts and washers, see Figure 3.1.2.

Tapers are accomplished using a small customised panel,
which results in a slight variation in the installation process,
please familiarise yourself with the standard installation before
proceeding.

The Lifting gear is now attached to a standard central panel,
which can be identified by a) having no weatherstrip at the
bottom and b) having the slots on the bottom edge to connect
with the tapered panel.

Tracks are assembled as standard with the only difference being
that one vertical track needs to be cut down to accommodate the
uneven floor. Both vertical tracks need to start from the ground
and end level with each other. Cut the track as necessary from
the ground end.

Assemble the tapered panel as shown in Figure 78 - the 2
spacers required are to be cut 10-12mm long from a white link
pin and fitted one to each side as shown. Insert into tracks as
shown in ‘Installing Bottom Panel’ on page 19.

The lifting panel is different from that shown on page 12 in that
there is no weatherstrip (it’s part of the taper panel) and slots are
present to connect to the tapered panel.

Assemble bottom hanger as shown in Figure A and B on page 13.
Modify bottom hanger as in Figure 79. The bottom hanger will thus
sit slightly higher up the panel than normal, so as not to interfere
with hinging movement. Also no wheel or links are connected at
the bottom as shown in Figure 80 when these as attached.

Simply assemble lifting panel onto the tapered panel as standard
as shown on page 19 ‘Installing Additional Panels’, see Figure 81.

GENERAL CARE OF YOUR PANELIFT

CLEANING

COLORBOND® & COLOURED STEEL FINISH Your B&D

Panelift has been pre-painted with a silicone modified polyester
formulation, which is one of the best paint films commercially
available today. However, all exposed surfaces require some
attention to guard against the premature onset of corrosion
and any other harmful atmospheric effects. In our atmosphere
there are harmful deposits that gather on the door surface and
if not removed regularly, will seriously affect the appearance
and life of the door.

Washing of the door with clean water and a cloth every 14 days
is recommended – particular care should be taken to clean
areas of the door not normally washed by rain.

LOCK

Your lock does not require special maintenance, however, if the
keyway becomes stiff, the application of powdered graphite is
recommended – do not grease or oil the lock.

WARNING! Do not disassemble the lock mechanism and do
not allow paint to enter the lock keyway.

HINGES & HANGERS

Plastic hinges – no lubrication is generally required, however
silicon spray or lithium grease may be used if necessary.

CABLES

Check the cables regularly for corrosion, fraying or tangling, if
any of these are evident call your service provider.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIRED

B&D recommends that you check the operation of your
Panelift at least every six months (more regularly in extreme
environments or frequent use). The effort required to manually
open and to manually close the door should be about the same
(if door has an automatic opener, put into manual mode before
testing door).

If the door is difficult to operate in either direction (up or down)
then check that the inside surfaces of the guides are clean and
free of obstructions.

If the door is still difficult to operate, then your door will need
a service to adjust the spring tension and possibly other
operational parts of the door.

This service should only be carried out by an experienced door
technician, using the correct tools.

If you have an automatic opener fitted to your door, it is
particularly important that you ensure the optimum operation
of the door, otherwise you may reduce the effective life of the
opener.

To keep your door running well, it is recommended that your
door be serviced, by an experienced door technician, every 12
months (more regularly in extreme environments or frequent
use), or earlier if required.

SPRING TENSION

It is natural for springs to lose tension over time. When spring
tension is adjusted or when your door is first installed it is usual
to apply a little more tension than is required for balanced
operation, to allow for the normal “settling in” of the springs.
Lightly lubricate to prevent friction between the coils.

WARRANTY

Warranty conditional on proper care as recommended above.
Full details of the warranty are available from www.bnd.com.au
